How do people react to your braces out in public?

I got funny looks for a woman at Tesco who asked for ID for the first time in a while the first time I wore them out :D

They sort of look/stare at them if it is the first time we’ve met, if that, but everyone is polite. The era of social media probably helps because everyone is sucked into the void, staring at their phones. Everyone I know completely disregards the fact that I have them. I guess I look old enough, I’ve never been carded with them.

Kind of nervous and excited seeing how people react

did you just get them on? Did you tell anyone you were getting them??

im getting braces next Friday and the Monday after I'll see people, so ill be in the same boat haha. Debating if I'll announce I got them over text to a friend or two, or say anything right before. Or if it would be fun to just show up with them like nothings new, and just smile and show them off lol (if im confident enough!)

People don't react, at all.

A few of my friends asked when I got braces or something along those lines, but otherwise no one says anything or seems to care, especially not strangers when I'm out in public. Doesn't seem like anyone stares or anything, either.

hahah fair, I guess it would be more unusual for an adult to be excited about having braces. I kinda like the idea of not mentioning anything beforehand and maybe casually bringing them up or just showing up like NBD. I'll see how I'll feel after mine are on though haha.

How have you been liking them so far? Does it feel weird/are you getting used to it? Is it painful? Do you like how they look?

I'm getting used to them but it did feel weird at first, didn't hurt though.

I love how they look.

Lucky, dude. Mine hurt so bad after about four hours and into the next three-ish days. I just showed up, didn’t tell anybody but my husband, and some people I work with literally didn’t notice until the next month! Heck, I’m still getting comments from friends about them and I’ve had them on for literally 7 months. People seriously don’t care, and it’s not as big a deal to them as it is to us.

And have any pictures, FantaBrace?
